Hey Slaw, I couldn't open that link. What is the name of the band/album? 

Magik Markers / Balf quarry 
Slaw,
Have you ever bought a new album that has a lightish film on it (usually only a couple areas) & if so, how do you remove it. Note that it is audible.

Spot on with Prine, Leonard, & David

Slaw,
I'm thinking about using lighter fluid (on one of them) to see if it works. Obviously I'd sneak up on it & not go full guns off the bat.  What are your thoughts? 
Slaw,
I'm thinking it may be a release compound or something they used during the pressing process. Only have a couple like this, but it bothers me every time I listen to them. Oh well... 
LOL tomic. My wifes Pomeranian's help me out. They get downright pissed when a recording has a dog in it 
Thanks Slaw, I know you have the knowledge / equipment & will keep that in mind. 
Sonic Youth / Dirty (box set)
Love the stripped down "outtakes" from the box set
That is one of my favorite Beefheart albums. Just played it last week.

Bonnie Prince Billy / The letting go
Hey Tomic,
Is your arm tower a "stand alone item"? In other words... Do you have your arm tower separate from your table? I do, but don't see many people going that route, so just curious. 
Slaw,
The Julie Ruin album is on white vinyl from "Hardly Art". Just picked it up today. The band has kind of a post punk sound to them. Reminds me a bit of Joan Jett. 
Tomic, Cool, just curious.

Slaw, Let me know what you think of that album please. Almost seems like a "must have" already (LOL). FWIW, I’ve separated everything from the turntable. The only thing attached to it is the belt from the flywheel. In fact, the motor, flywheel, table, & arm tower, are all stand alone components. I like it this way because I believe it makes sense isolating everything, but it’s a pita to set up. Once set up though, there is a lot of flexibility with setting up different arms. I currently have two arm "towers (or pods)". One is set up with the 12" ViRa arm, the other with a 9" Polestar.

The Julie Ruin / Hit reset
Still love Vertigo in Grand Rapids Michigan. It is a wonderful record store. I've been buying records from the owner (different names & locations) for almost 40 years. He really loves music.

Doors / LA women 
I think Welch took them in that direction. He was a great musician. Personally, I like their style pre Buckingham/Nicks best.  

Turkish Delight / Tommy Bell
That one & Penguin are both recorded great for their earlier stuff. Really with "Then play on" was recorded better. Wonderful music nonetheless. 

+1 for "Manifesto" (I do agree it could have been recorded better though)

Roxy Music / Avalon

td_dayton, +1 for mentioning "alabaster deplume". That looks interesting indeed

Bryan Ferry / Boys & Girls
